Abstract

To diversify their income, farmers in the Agboville area (Ivory Coast) raise poultry in addition to their usual crops such as cocoa. They sometimes carry out both activities on the same plot of land, thus practising agroforestry when they add trees for reforestation. To evaluate the practice of poultry farming in agroforestry in the Agboville area. A prospective, descriptive and analytical survey was conducted among a population of farmers and/or livestock breeders, all from 43 villages in the municipality of Agboville. At the end of this survey, only the data collected from 199 poultry farmers were retained for analysis. In addition, the survey questionnaires focused on socio-demographic characteristics, farming systems, types of poultry raised, poultry feed, poultry health monitoring, and the interaction between poultry and plants. This data was analysed using SPSS and Excel. The results showed that the poultry farmers surveyed were mainly farmers, comprising 5% women and 95% men, with 96,5% being Ivorian and an average age of 52,49 ± 0,17 years. In addition, the majority of the study population practised semi-modern or traditional livestock farming, with a minority practising modern livestock farming. Poultry farmers raised laying hens, broilers, hybrids or African chickens and all recorded good poultry production. This survey also showed that 44,7% of poultry farmers used trees and/or crops as shelter for poultry, compared to 55,3% who did not practise agroforestry. At the end of this survey, it appears that the majority of respondents obtained good poultry and crop production.
